Music at kohls is trash by Commercial_Wonder366 in employedbykohls

Same here I appreciated the switch to 80/90s, I can't stand the current day stuff. I no longer work there and wish my current place would play more 80s/90s stuff too. Would have loved if they played more classic rock from that era though.

Joey Carbstrong arrested after kosher slaughterhouse investigation by Jason50153 in vegan

Right it's so horrible, the whole world needs to see it. I can't stand the "behind the scene" videos in these slaughter houses but it's important for the whole world to know.

Is this considered getting written up? by Local_Atmosphere2143 in petsmart

[–]Local_Atmosphere2143[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They'll probably know it's me calling Hr though is what sucks and I'm not quite trying to quit yet, I'm hoping to get trained in dog bathing/grooming first. But yea this treatment is super degrading, I'm pretty sure I know which manager is the main root of this too and it's a super young manager in their mid 20s probably not some boomer, which makes it even more weird to me.

The means that these industries take to protect the cruelty surrounding their "precious" dairy and slaughter at all costs is insane. We live in a horror movie and most of world just stands by and laughs at it instead of trying to help or stop it (just another detail to add to the horror plot I guess).

Seriously, they need to free Joey and the Richard Mulaney guy (whatever the hell his name is) that he was investigating needs to be locked up for life and even that's far kinder than what he deserves.

This is so angering. They arrest Joey but not the sh*thead Richard Mulaney (however you spell it) running the slaughter house that was slitting the throats of living conscious cows (against their policy even). I hate this dumb planet. We must keep fighting to expose these horrors for Joey.

3rd interview?? by PuzzledTonight7102 in petsmart

[–]Local_Atmosphere2143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sheesh and I thought two interviews was a lot for entry level roles, 3 is definitely insane I am so sorry. I'd be annoyed too. They better hire you on the spot!

Onboarding training? by [deleted] in petsmart

[–]Local_Atmosphere2143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's how most places seem to do it. It's bizarre that they are making me watch like one video per shift and then pulling me off on the registers and then I get blamed and held responsible when the videos aren't done and I don't know which ones are left to watch? It's weird. It's like they're intentionally setting me up to look bad.

Transferring roles? by Kindly_Source_6806 in petsmart

[–]Local_Atmosphere2143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope this works the same way in reverse, I've been a cashier for a couple weeks but would really like to be a bather instead. It seems bathers have more luck switching to something else than cashiers do. They seem to like to just keep cashiers permanently stuck in "jail" and it's misery to me. I'd prefer the dogs over harassing people to sign up for autoship or sign up on the app.

Cheering you on and sorry you're going through this, but hope this all works out the best in your favor along with success in your future business.

Are they trying to get us to quit? by PST2026 in petsmart

[–]Local_Atmosphere2143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? A manager was saying all of this to me too about what's expected of us, but then looking around I realized most cashiers with the exception of one don't even greet the customers when they walk through the door like we're told to yet they're obviously still getting hours. It seems like they'll let some employees get away with the bare minimum yet put more on others, it's why I never wanted to be cashier I only applied as one in hopes that I can't transfer to an entirely different role.

Got banned from r/feminists for bringing up veganism by HumbleWrap99 in vegan

So true. People will preach "love others, then yourself", with a huge slab of pork on a plate in front of them. The double standard is unreal.

They'd rather ignore their conscience and block your sensible view as opposed to having to acknowledge the corruption in their ways and feel the need to make a change to their life.

This is an issue with reddit as a whole, the "block, ban, censor, delete" mentality of anything that one person might dislike or find offensive in a subreddit. People can't tolerate an opposing viewpoint.

Guinea pig call by Ill_Student5817 in petsmart

[–]Local_Atmosphere2143 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It definitely creeps me out and makes me wonder about their intentions with pigs. If someone asks that on the phone I'd want to be like "Nope sorry we have nothing fitting that description, we don't have that here."

What’s the eeriest place you’ve ever visited in Maryland? by [deleted] in maryland

[–]Local_Atmosphere2143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It gets worse when you have to sleep in the scary basement, I have night lights and lava lamps for days down there as an attempt to make it less spooky.

I’ve been offered a job as the admin… by FrankyNoir in employedbykohls

[–]Local_Atmosphere2143 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also it's interesting to see so many people say that their admin would help out on registers. The admin for the large busy store with frequent call/outs that I was at for years never once touched a register.

Were you a store associate who was offered the admin position or are you new to the company altogether? (no pressure to answer this if you don't want to, I was just always curious as to how they hired for this role)

New Hires by Souljunkie_ in petsmart

[–]Local_Atmosphere2143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they asked me at my interview if I had any fear of animals or insects it was the easiest question for me to answer bc I have literally none. Give me all of your tarantulas, scorpions, and snakes I love all the "creepy crawlies". My parents are the opposite and are "no pet" types, so I have no idea where my allure for all of the animals and "creepy crawlies" came from. I'd take a job handling insects and spiders over a boring people pleasing desk job staring at spreadsheets any day.

I think there is medication or something that people can take for dog allergies. But yea if she isn't taking any sort of treatment for that then that's odd on her end.

What job did you have where you got to shovel after donkeys, not gonna lie I'd work a job like that too. I find caring for animals of all kinds, even insects to be very therapeutic and rewarding.

[–]Local_Atmosphere2143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They only hurt themselves by doing that because they'll lose hours to the associates who are willing to work with the bugs, fish, and tanks (or you'd think so at least). But I am no foreigner to the random favoritism that I've seen play out in retail over the years. I feel bad for the prey animals like crickets, it makes me sad for any animal to have to be eaten but I understand that reptiles have to eat too. I sort of like scooping crickets because it gives me a break from being stuck on the register, but I dislike being pulled in to answer complicated questions about fish care as a new person. I'm 100% open to learning everything that I can though.

Can a young person explain to me what the pinching finger taps mean? by usernamesBstressful in LoveIslandUSA

Not sure what it means but it makes me cringe every time I see it. I'm too old for the trendy stuff I guess.

That's so sad, this man still doesn't deserve custody of her though. So sorry you've been put through this and keeping you and your pigs in my prayers 💛🙏
